I am the Principal of Omega Solicitors & Advocates. I have been a supervising solicitor of teams of legal practitioners in different solicitor firms which includes Children Panel Members, solicitors, trainees, and case workers for the past 5 years, before setting up my own firm. Before qualifying as a solicitor in 2018, I have worked at the OISC’s highest level (Level 3) handling complex immigration cases since 2010, including representing clients at the Immigration chambers before Immigration Judges and supporting my community in every little way possible.
I am a solicitor-advocate with higher rights of audience (civil) and as a result I have vast knowledge of advocacy skills in presenting cases before Judges from the junior to the higher courts. I represent clients from tribunal to the high court on a regular basis.
I also take instructions from solicitors as an advocate especially on legal aid matters as I hold advocate account with the Legal Aid Agency as a solicitor-advocate and I can advance your case to the highest court in the land if your case has such merits.
I have significant experience in representing clients as both Applicants and Respondents in a wide range of Immigration, housing, family and childcare matters including;

care proceedings which include serious non-accidental injury, severe sexual abuse (including historical allegations), fabricated or induced illness (FII), neglect, emotional harm and failure to protect from harm, as well as Child Protection Conferences (CPC) and Public Law Outline Meetings (PLO) in order to assist in preventing care proceedings being issued.
I have also been heavily involved in the areas of; emergency protection orders, discharging care orders and opposing adoption orders, special guardianship orders, parental responsibility agreements, grandparents’ rights and enforcement proceedings. I have vast knowledge and experience in dealing with divorce proceedings (including defended divorces), consent orders and wardship proceedings.
I deal with S8 applications and have experience in dealing with international child abduction matters in both Hague and non-Hague states. Furthermore, I am well versed in matters involving risk of removal from the jurisdiction, internal relocation, temporary removal disputes, non-molestation orders, occupation orders and forced marriage orders.
I am an accredited member of the Law Society’s Family Law Accreditation Scheme. I have experience in representing parents with difficulties ranging from mental-health issues, chronic drug, and alcohol addiction to those with learning difficulties and disabilities.
I also have experience in dealing with cases which include issues of serious domestic violence, implacable hostility, sexual abuse, and parental alienation. This has been before all tiers of the judiciary from Magistrates to High Court judges.
I regularly advise and represent clients in relation to disputes spanning international borders in relation to child abduction in both ways (illegally removing a child from the UK or otherwise).
I represent both legally aided and private clients and I can also speak French and Yoruba languages in addition to English.
